[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Grain, Low contrast, Picture softness are all deliberate.

Actually, I prefer a high contrast version but that only works well in print (you loose to much shadow detail on a LCD screen).

le fait d'avoir coupé le bras en haut de l'image était délibéré? En tout cas, la photo a une belle atmosphère de paix et de tranquilité


Raoul

Good moment.
Good light.
Good crop.

Lovely image. Very well done.

Nice light and POV in this shot. I love the edge lighting along her shoulder and arm, and the way tiny hairs are lit up, it's beautiful.
I realise you wanted the "softness" in this shot, but it looks like camera-shake (if it was handheld at 1/80 you'd probably get that) which I do have difficulty accepting.
Also the cropped shoulder and top-of-head are a shame, either a closer crop or a wider shot would improve that.
Overall it's nice work though!

Good work Alfred, I really like the softness (no matter how it was obtained) because it is perfect for the subject. If this is your lady then run off a quick copy and make a Valentine's card of it for her - chick's love that sort of thing!!"!!
TFS, Neil.

Hello Alfred

A lovely B&W treatment of this shot.The exposure is well handled,and very good use of backlighting.Nicely composed with sharp details and good balance.TFS

Rob

Nice light
Real soft
But I like to see the tip of the shoulder
But very good without doubt

I like the pose and the mood created. Hmmm I think a higher contrast version will look very good!

Wow. I love that. I like the light and the softness...I would not want a high contrast version here...it seems it would lose the mood.

Alfred:

Simply magnificent!

TFS.

Mmmm sweet romantic. One wonders what she is dreaming about;)? I like soft and delicate photos like this. I think they are the most hard to accomplish good.
Have fun,
JD
